the Governor finds another airline that
will provide service between Honolulu
and Pago Pago.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on

Honolulu and Pago Pago since 1984, is
the only airline currently providing
scheduled passenger service between
American Samoa and another U.S. state
or territory. Governor Tulafono has
expressed his dissatisfaction with the
quality and price of Hawaiian’s service.
On July 26, 2006, he issued an executive
order stating that American Samoa
intends to find another airline to replace
Hawaiian’s service and that he will
issue a second executive order barring
Hawaiian from continuing to operate to
American Samoa when a replacement
airline is ready to begin flying between
Honolulu and Pago Pago.
On August 10, 2006, Hawaiian filed a
petition for a declaratory order in
Docket OST–2006–25612 that contends
that the Governor may not lawfully
block Hawaiian from serving the
Honolulu-Pago Pago market. Hawaiian
argues in particular that a Federal
statute, 49 U.S.C. 41713, bars American
Samoa and all other states and
territories from regulating the routes,
rates, and services of interstate airlines
and that American Samoa therefore may
not stop Hawaiian from serving Pago
Pago. Hawaiian, noting that the
Governor has stated that his proposed
action is within American Samoa’s
customs and border control authority,
contends that that authority would not
support the Governor’s plans.
Hawaiian’s petition includes as
attachments the Governor’s July 26,
2006 order and the Governor’s response
to a letter from the Manager of the
Federal Aviation Administration’s
Airports District Office, Western-Pacific
Region, that had suggested that the
Governor’s proposed action appeared to
be unlawful.
No one has answered Hawaiian’s
petition. We do not wish to rule on the
petition for a declaratory order without
obtaining the views of American Samoa.
Hawaiian itself states that it ‘‘requests
that the government of American Samoa
be given the opportunity to participate
in this matter.’’ We therefore invite
American Samoa and all other
interested persons to submit comments
on the Hawaiian petition for a
declaratory order. Comments should
address the issues raised in Hawaiian’s
petition and the Governor’s response to
the FAA official’s letter as well as any
other relevant matters of concern to the
commenter. We are placing a copy of
the FAA official’s letter in the docket.
Hawaiian’s petition and the letter are
accessible on-line at the Web site for the
Department’s Docket Management
System at https://dms.dot.gov.
To ensure that American Samoa and
other interested persons have an
adequate opportunity to prepare and

submit comments, we will allow them
to file their comments by September 15,

Hawaiian, may then file replies to the
comments by September 22, 2006.

National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
Petition for Exemption From the
Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard;
Ford Motor Company
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Grant of petition for exemption.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document grants in full
the petition of Ford Motor Company,
(Ford) in accordance with 49 CFR Part
543, Exemption from the Theft
Prevention Standard, for the Five
Hundred vehicle line beginning with
model year (MY) 2007. This petition is
granted because the agency has
determined that the antitheft device to
be placed on the line as standard
equipment is likely to be as effective in
reducing and deterring motor vehicle
theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard.
DATES: The exemption granted by this
notice is effective beginning with model
year (MY) 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Deborah Mazyck, Office of International
Vehicle, Fuel Economy and Consumer
Standards, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street,
SW., Washington, DC 20590. Ms.
Mazyck’s telephone number is (202)
366–0846. Her fax number is (202) 493–
2290.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated April 28, 2006, Ford
requested exemption from the partsmarking requirements of the theft
prevention standard (49 CFR Part 541)
for the MY 2007 Five Hundred vehicle
line. The petition requested exemption
from parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR
Part 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard, based on the
installation of an antitheft device as
standard equipment for an entire
vehicle line.
Under § 543.5(a), a manufacturer may
petition NHTSA to grant exemptions for
one line of its vehicle lines per year. In
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

its petition, Ford provided a detailed
description and diagram of the identity,
design, and location of the components
of the antitheft device for the Five
Hundred vehicle line. Ford will install
its antitheft device, the SecuriLock
Passive Anti-Theft Electronic
Powertrain Immobilizer System
(SecuriLock) as standard equipment on
the Ford Five Hundred vehicle line
beginning with MY 2007. Features of
the antitheft device will include an
electronic key, ignition lock, and a
passive immobilizer. Additionally, the
Ford Five Hundred will have an
optional perimeter alarm system which
will monitor all the doors, decklid and
hood of the vehicle. Ford’s submission
is considered a complete petition as
required by 49 CFR 543.7, in that it
meets the general requirements
contained in 543.5 and the specific
content requirements of 543.6.
The Ford SecuriLock is a transponderbased electronic immobilizer system.
Ford stated that the integration of the
transponder into the normal operation
of the ignition key assures activation of
the system. When the ignition key is
turned to the start position, the
transceiver module reads the ignition
key code and transmits an encrypted
message to the cluster. Validation of the
key is determined and start of the
engine is authorized once a separate
encrypted message is sent to the
powertrain’s electronic control module
(PCM). The powertrain will function
only if the key code matches the unique
identification key code previously
programmed into the PCM. If the codes
do not match, the powertrain engine
starter will be disabled.
The effectiveness of Ford’s
SecuriLock device was first introduced
as standard equipment on its MY 1996
Mustang GT and Cobra. In My 1997, the
SecuriLock system was installed on the
entire Mustang vehicle line as standard
equipment. Ford stated that the 1997
model year Mustang with SecuriLock
shows a 70% reduction in theft
compared to the MY 1995 Mustang,
according to National Insurance Crime
Bureau (NICB) theft statistics. There
were 149 reported theft for 1997
compared to 500 reported thefts in 1995.
In addressing the specific content
requirements of 543.6, Ford provided
information on the reliability and
durability of its proposed device. To
ensure reliability and durability of the
device, Ford conducted tests based on
its own specified standards. Ford also
provided a detailed list of the tests
conducted and believes that the device
is reliable and durable since the device
complied with its specified
requirements for each test. Ford also
